In truth, as we mentioned after playing the game at E3, the dynamics of the combat do very much reflect the feel of the Battlefield series – just with many of the more complex load-out options, progression systems and tactical elements (like squads and commanders) removed.
Extension of these results to some more complex loading cases is envisaged, and a numerical procedure will be probably needed in the general case.
Moreover, a parametric study in the framework of dynamic fracture is developed to investigate the capability of the proposed model to reproduce more complex loading cases.
In addition, numerical simulations provided further insight into the loading approach – with good agreement found with experimental data, opening the potential to design more complex loading systems in future.
This validated model will enable the analysis of force and stress distribution in the ACL in response to more complex loading conditions and has the potential to help design improved surgical procedures following ACL injuries.
However, little is known about the performance of exterior beam-column connections that are usually subjected to more complex loading during an earthquake, involving bi-directional bending and torsion of the column.
Only an axial load was applied on a plane osteotomy, whereas more complex loading forces interact on an actual bone during weight bearing.
More complex loading geometries will be considered and addressed in future biomechanical trials.
Prediction capacity of the proposed criterion is tested on 119 iso-frequency axial torsion experiments and some other more complex loadings: biaxial loading and asynchronous loading.
